Accel
Accel is one of the world's leading venture capital firms, founded in 1983 by Arthur Patterson and Jim Swartz and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with additional offices in San Francisco, London, and Bangalore, India. Accel describes itself as "the first partner to exceptional teams everywhere," backing founders from seed and early stage through growth worldwide. The firm invests across enterprise software and SaaS, consumer, artificial intelligence, fintech, cybersecurity, infrastructure and developer tools, security, media, and healthcare, and operates dedicated funds for the US, Europe/Israel, and India/Southeast Asia. Accel is known for its "prepared mind" investment philosophy and for backing category-defining companies including Facebook, Slack, Dropbox, Atlassian, CrowdStrike, UiPath, Qualtrics, Spotify, Flipkart, Swiggy, Freshworks, 1Password, Vercel, Scale AI, Anthropic, and Perplexity. Its portfolio spans more than 100 unicorns, dozens of IPOs, and hundreds of acquisitions. In 2024 Accel raised a $650M fund for European and Israeli startups, and in 2025 raised a fund for India and Southeast Asia. This profile tracks Accel's identity and its portfolio graph across the API Evangelist network.
Accel is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Accel is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
